BTC is solely a mode of investment, it offers no real benefits over fiat except decentralization. At least XMR is as or even more anonymous than cash, whereas Bitcoin has zero utility.

When they lose that money they are going to create a very big political problem for the rest of us.

And this will not happen 💀

It’s not like all of these teachings are obviously fake and irrelevant, and anyone following any of them are ignorant to real (or at least, fully real morality). I dont need any amount of deities to tell me what my values are.

OP is doubly ignorant; believing in Christianity AND insisting on their religions moral superiority 💀💀

Absolutely not, I only tip waitors / waitresses or delivery people.

Any women who (who we’re already assuning I’m interested in enough to take on a date) won’t go on a date with me because of my phone’s OS are dodged bullets imo.

I do. However, computers should function as computers.

Apple products are all about stupid proofing.

Where do we draw the line between a functioning computer and chromebook? an IoT device? Stupid-proofing should not come at the cost of basic functionality.

Preventing side loading protects people who don’t know what side loading is.

No, it does not. Users attempting to sideload an app would obviously be warned, not to mention various other methods of malware scanning / sandboxing which can alleviate that non-existant issue.

Those of us who want it are a vocal minority trying to screw up their entire business strategy.

Creating Fisher Price computers is not a valid business strategy, and serves as a detriment for all users regardless of proficency. User freedom is beneficial for absolutely everyone.

Agreed, Invidious is so much lighter than YouTube that I’ve had sucess watching on onion instances via Tor.

GrapheneOS’s guided installation is simple enough anyone should be able to install it IMO.

There is no definitive “human nature”, so I would say it is in some individuals nature to be inhumane.

Chromebooks are even worse: “Instead of hampering user’s computers for safety, we’ll make a ‘computer’ that just launches our proprietary web apps!”

And even if the App Store was perfectly safe, keeping users safe via restricting basic functionality instead of increasing tech literacy is a backwards approach

The fact that letting users choose what software they’d like to install wasn’t seen as an fundamental part of a computer really highlights Apple’s backwards philosophy towards user experience.

That is not slavery, convict leasing was (worse) slavery.

…until 1942*

These replaced many for me.

THANK YOU for this post, just replaced my dialer, contacts, gallery, and clock.

Symphony or Auxio

AFAIK there are alternatives no that work.
